Strategic Search for Manufacturing & Distribution Leadership Teams

High-Touch Recruiting for Critical Leadership Hires

CB & Associates partners with manufacturing, distribution, and supply chain companies make stronger leadership hires through a focused, relationship-driven search process.

Search With
Clarity and Intent

CB & Associates approaches high-touch recruiting as a strategic process, not a transactional one. The firm works closely with clients to understand the business need, define the leadership gap, and shape the search around the outcome that matters most. That means senior-level attention, targeted evaluation, and direct communication from the start of the search through the hire.

Cindy is one of the best recruiters I have ever known. As a Human Resources manager, I relied on her expertise for over 20 years, and today, I am proud to call her a friend. Cindy's honesty, warmth, and genuine care for people have always stood out. Throughout my career as an HR practitioner—from Manager to VP in the manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution sectors with companies like CalComp, Springs Industries, and Vans—Cindy was an invaluable asset. She consistently made me look good by bringing in the right people, even before the era of the Internet!

Cindy is one of the most hard working and persistent recruiters I've met. From the first time we spoke about a prospective job, she guided me through the whole process day by day, literally. I was unemployed at the time, but Cindy really brightened my outlook on my job search. She gave me the positivity to successfully interview and was the true mediator between myself and the hiring company. Cindy genuinely cares about getting her candidates hired with the right company.
